[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model is described below with reference to specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present utility model.
[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] If the upper and lower guide rails of the loading and unloading equipment on the market are not set parallel during operation, it will cause the entire equipment to move and get stuck or the wheel system to slip, which will affect the user experience and hinder the promotion and application of the aforementioned loading and unloading equipment in the market.
[0029] To solve the above technical problems, such as Figures 1 to 6As shown in this embodiment, a bin storage and retrieval device can be directly installed on the storage rack 7 to improve space utilization. This arrangement also allows bins to be stacked tightly, reducing gaps between goods and further increasing storage capacity per unit area, meeting the enterprise's need for large-scale goods storage. The bin storage and retrieval device mainly consists of a storage and retrieval platform 6, a lifting assembly for moving the storage and retrieval platform 6 up and down, and a lateral moving assembly for moving the storage and retrieval platform 6 laterally. Through the lifting assembly and the lateral moving assembly, the storage and retrieval platform 6 can move in the longitudinal direction (height) and the lateral direction, thereby meeting the usage requirements. To enable the lateral moving assembly and the lifting assembly to be integrated, the lateral moving assembly can be rigidly connected to the lifting assembly using bolts or other connecting parts. Specifically, the aforementioned lateral movement assembly includes a first lateral guide rail 8, a second lateral guide rail 9, and a lateral drive assembly. The first lateral guide rail 8 and the second lateral guide rail 9 can be arranged parallel to each other, or they can be arranged at an angle, meaning that the first lateral guide rail 8 and the second lateral guide rail 9 are not parallel. To ensure the overall stability of the bin storage and retrieval device during operation, the first lateral guide rail 8 and the second lateral guide rail 9 are spaced apart, and the specific distance can be determined according to the height of the storage rack 7.
[0030] To enable the storage and retrieval platform 6 to move laterally, the lateral drive assembly in this embodiment includes lateral drive wheels 3 and lateral drive wheel drive members 11 mounted on the top of the first lateral guide rail 8 and / or the second lateral guide rail 9. The lateral drive wheel drive member 11 can be a highly stable drive motor. The lateral drive wheel 3 is driven by the lateral drive wheel drive member 11, thereby pushing the storage and retrieval platform 6 to move laterally, i.e., to the left or right. The number of lateral drive wheel drive members 11 can be adapted to the number of lateral drive wheels 3, i.e., each lateral drive wheel 3 is driven by a lateral drive wheel drive member 11, and each lateral drive wheel 3 is a drive wheel. This is usually applicable when the items in the storage and retrieval platform 6 are too heavy; if the items in the storage and retrieval platform 6 are relatively light, only one drive wheel can be provided, i.e., only one lateral drive wheel 3 needs to be driven by the lateral drive wheel drive member 11.
[0031] To ensure that the transverse drive wheel 3 can adaptively conform to the top of the transverse guide rail 8 or the transverse guide rail 9, and to guarantee the stability of the loading platform 6 during movement even when the transverse guide rail 8 and the transverse guide rail 9 are not parallel, thus reducing the probability of the loading platform 6 experiencing movement jamming or wheel slippage, in this embodiment, there are two transverse drive wheels 3 located at the top of the transverse guide rail 8 or the transverse guide rail 9. Furthermore, there is a space between the two transverse drive wheels 3 that allows them to continuously conform to the transverse guide rail 8 or the transverse guide rail 9. The elastic adjustment component 5 is connected between the two transverse drive wheels 3 via a crossbeam 4, enabling the transverse drive wheels 3 to self-adjust. Specifically, the elastic adjustment component 5 ensures that the transverse drive wheels 3 at the top of the first transverse guide rail 8 or the second transverse guide rail 9 can continuously adhere to the top of the first transverse guide rail 8 or the second transverse guide rail 9, guaranteeing the stability of the storage and retrieval platform 6 during movement and use, thereby enhancing the user experience and facilitating the promotion and application of the aforementioned bin storage and retrieval device in the field of intelligent logistics equipment technology.
[0032] To ensure the overall stability of the material bin storage and retrieval device, the bottom of the elastic adjustment component 5 in this embodiment is rigidly connected to the lifting component via connecting bolts or other connecting parts through the connecting plate 12.
[0033] Specifically, the elastic adjustment component 5 in this embodiment mainly consists of a base 5-1 and an adapter 5-2. The base 5-1 and the adapter 5-2 are rotatably connected by an adapter shaft 5-3, meaning that the base 5-1 and the adapter 5-2 can swing up and down via the adapter shaft 5-3. This, in turn, drives the transverse drive wheels 3 at both ends of the crossbeam 4 to swing, causing the transverse drive wheels 3 to fit against the top of the first transverse guide rail 8 or the second transverse guide rail 9, ensuring the stability of the transverse drive wheels 3 during movement, and thus ensuring the stability of the storage and retrieval platform 6 during movement and use. The adapter 5-2 can be connected to the connecting plate 12, thereby ensuring the installation position of the transverse drive wheels 3. The adapter 5-2 is topped with a mounting base 5-4. The mounting base 5-4 contains an elastic element 5-5 that allows the transverse drive wheel 3 to move vertically. The elastic element 5-5 is a simple, economical, and practical spring. By incorporating the spring, the transverse drive wheel 3 can adaptively adjust in the longitudinal direction to meet usage requirements. A guide post 5-6 passes through the elastic element 5-5, which is embedded within the spring. The guide post 5-6 supports and guides the elastic element 5-5, ensuring smooth movement of the elastic element 5-5 and its connected components. This prevents displacement or wobbling of components due to elastic deformation of the elastic element 5-5 or external forces, thus ensuring the stability of the entire access process. To further guarantee the guiding and self-recovering effects, multiple elastic elements 5-5 can be used, with the guide posts 5-6 matched to the number of elastic elements 5-5.
[0034] The aforementioned lifting assembly includes a pair of opposing vertical poles 1, a lifting drive 10, and a transmission component installed at the output end of the lifting drive 10. The lifting drive 10 can be a highly stable drive motor. In order to facilitate the overall driving of the pair of opposing vertical poles 1, the lifting drive 10 is installed on the side of one of the vertical poles 1. A pair of opposing vertical pillars 1 are connected by multiple connecting ribs 2 to form multiple rectangular rigid bodies, meaning the lifting assembly is also a single unit. The aforementioned storage and retrieval platform 6 is then installed on the aforementioned vertical pillars 1 via a conveyor belt or conveyor chain. The output end of the aforementioned lifting drive unit 10 can be fitted with a drive gear, and correspondingly, a driven gear is installed on the hollow vertical pillar 1. A transmission chain meshes with the drive gear and the driven gear, and connecting parts are installed on the chain, or the aforementioned storage and retrieval platform 6 is directly installed on the transmission chain. In this process, there are two transmission chains, each installed inside the aforementioned opposing vertical pillars 1, and the two transmission chains are connected by a synchronous shaft. Similarly, the aforementioned transmission chain can be replaced with a synchronous belt, which can also drive the aforementioned storage and retrieval platform 6 to move up and down in the vertical direction.
[0035] In this embodiment, a material bin storage and retrieval device moves laterally on the first horizontal guide rail 8 and the second horizontal guide rail 9. If the guide rail opening gradually widens, i.e., the distance between the first horizontal guide rail 8 and the second horizontal guide rail 9 gradually increases, the elastic element compresses slightly, and the crossbeam 4 adjusts its elevation angle according to the trend of the guide rail. If the guide rail opening gradually narrows, i.e., the distance between the first horizontal guide rail 8 and the second horizontal guide rail 9 gradually decreases, the elastic element pops out slightly, and the crossbeam 4 adjusts its elevation angle according to the trend of the guide rail. Similarly, when the upper guide rail has a peak or trough, the crossbeam 4 can smoothly cross it due to the elasticity of the elastic element, thereby ensuring the stability of the storage and retrieval platform 6 during operation.
[0036] This embodiment presents a bin storage and retrieval device with an ingenious structure. It includes a storage and retrieval platform 6, a lifting assembly for raising and lowering the platform, and a lateral movement assembly for moving the platform laterally. The lateral movement assembly incorporates an elastic adjustment component, enabling the lateral drive wheels to adaptively conform to either the first lateral guide rail 8 or the second lateral guide rail 9. Even when the first lateral guide rail 8 and the second lateral guide rail 9 are not parallel, the stability of the storage and retrieval platform 6 during movement is ensured, reducing the probability of movement jamming or wheel slippage. This enhances the user experience and facilitates the promotion and application of this bin storage and retrieval device in the field of intelligent logistics equipment technology.
[0037] The bin storage and retrieval device described in the above embodiments can be applied to, but is not limited to, shelves.
[0038] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention; therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
